(Sorry, don&#39;t have my Canon Law course notes handy to provide more specific info.)<br /><br />Canon Law has its basis in some Roman Law, but draws from several other sources, including but not limited to Scripture, Moral Theology, and some other things. <br /><br />Having studied some law in college and then learning about Canon Law in my grad program, well....Canon Law is a far superior system to Western law. Canon Law applies only to the person/situation. Our Western types of legal system is based upon precedent and therefore always in a state of flux.Adorohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094967570243723764.post-55041816367957340012010-07-28T13:01:12.444-05:002010-07-28T13:01:12.444-05:00Re: #9 on Canon Law:

While Canon Law is one strand of the modern Western legal tradition, it is certainly neither the only one nor the largest. Other influences are Germanic tribal law (the basis of significant swathes of English common law), the King&#39;s Writs (the basis of other significant swathes of English common law), and ancient Roman Law, as preserved in the Code of Justinian and his Digest. These compilations of Roman Imperial law, promulgated in the 6th century in the East, was never implemented in the West until its rediscovery in 12th-century Bologna, where it formed one half (the Corpus Iuris Civilis, or Body of Civil Law) of the law taught at the world&#39;s first law school, the University of Bologna. The other half was, of course, the Corpus Iuris Canonici, that is, Canon Law. But Canon Law was only one of these several components that make up modern law.Nathaniel M.
